What God Really Wants for Us
By
It can be quite wrong to judge folk only by their actions. Have you needed to look within somebody’s heart to figure out what that person is like and to grasp their inducements and beliefs? When it comes to truly knowing the Lord, we actually have to be in a position to see within His heart. We reside in an age of disinformation about who God is. But to grasp the heart of God, all we want to do is glance at the Cross.
The Cross demonstrates both God’s justice and His mercy. However, the Lord wishes to have fellowship with His creation. How does a holy, righteous, and just God have interaction with sinful, rebellious human beings? He prepares an ideal, sinless substitute to bear not only humankind’s guilt but also the punishment every one of us deserves.
The passing of Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be announced no longer guilty – our sin-debt has been paid in total and we are suitable to receive that payment by receiving Jesus as our Savior.
God’s justice requested that His son endure the worst possible punishment – separation from the daddy – so that God’s mercy might be poured out on us.
